Chapter summary
This chapter is the Walden chapter “Spring” from Project Gutenberg eBook #205, prepared for paragraph-aligned RBooks reading.
Modern reader note
Walden was written in a nineteenth-century New England context. Read Thoreau’s comments on labor, poverty, race, gender, religion, nature, and society with attention to that historical setting; the RBooks Chinese text is a study translation, not a modern guidebook.
